ZA blocking Azureus !!

Hi there,
I have a strange problem with ZA 7.1
I forwarded the port I specified in Azureus, also allowing incoming and outgoing TCP and UDP.When I start Azureus everything is going fine.
But after about 1 hour or so downloading, I get the error messages &quot;Port xxxxx is not allowing inbound connections&quot;How can this happen??
What can I do against that? That's really disturbing, I can't even download a day long or so because everytime I get this error.Also, when I end Azureus, the process keeps running... seems that ZA doesn't allow it to end.
Any hint on those problems?

You said, I forwarded the port I specified in Azureus, also allowing incoming and outgoing TCP and UDP.

I assume the forwarding is being done in a router? The allowing, is this done in a router, or expert rules?

Change those settings back to the default, you don't need them. Then you need to set Azureus to have internet server rights. There is a warning that goes along with this. Giving Azureus internet access, will allow anyone communicating it to do so whenever the program is running. It would be best to create expert rules for Azureus to control it better. There are pages on my site on how to create expert rules.

Thanks Hoov ... the second of your links, DonHoover.net is kind of what I was looking for ... about ZoneAlarm ... but what I could not find was about Port Forwarding and how to set it up in ZoneAlarm. I even went to their 'support forum' and did a search on it, came up with a bunch of hits but NOT what I was hoping to find!

I even went to Azureus a.k.a. Vuze 'support forum' and did a search, again a bunch of hits but not what I was hoping to find!

I have ZA Extreme Security v9.3 (updated) and Azureus / Vuze v4.5 (also updated), if that info helps ... can you please tell me how to setup Port Forwarding in ZoneAlarm?
